In Zhao Lie's plan, Qiongguan must be taken, and it must be before the arrival of the Mengyuan army!

Qiongguan, the Qiongzhou pacification envoy (Xuanwei envoy) office, the economic, political and military center of Qiongzhou, is only a sea away from the Leizhou Peninsula, half a day away. If you don't take Qiongguan, you won't recover Qiongzhou. And taking Qiongguan not only means that the whole island is in the hands of the Xing Dynasty, but also gives the Song army a strategic depth, whether it is to face the upcoming Mengyuan army next, or to look at the two wide, it is very convenient.

Although Yacheng is good, it is not a place where Zhao Hunt has stayed for a long time. After handing over the military to Wang Ping'an, entrusting the political affairs to Wen and Chen Erxiang, stabilizing the rear, and arranging everything, he will lead the tens of thousands of troops that have been rested and reorganized, go north to Wan'an, and join the dragon and bird army of Wan'an. Guns were distributed to the Forces nouvelles for a month of intensive training. Before the hot summer arrives, besiege the Qiongguan.

Yes, feng shui takes turns, and now, it is Zhao Lie's turn to lead the Dragon Bird Army to surround the Yuan army.

The ministers unanimously agreed with Zhao Lie's three-year spring battle plan for Xiangxing. No one wants to let the flames of war burn to the doorstep, three months ago Yacheng bloody battle casualties and frightened still vividly, Xing Dynasty can no longer withstand another round of bloody battles.

Capture Qiongguan, capture Leizhou, counterattack Liangguang, and return to the Central Plains. This is the year 1280, the political correctness of the Great Song Dynasty, no one dares to oppose it, and no one will oppose it.

Subsequently, Zhao Lie issued an order to supervise the country, with Zeng Yuanzi, the governor of the government, as the ambassador for grain raising, and Xu Dafu as the grain envoy to ensure the logistics of the Qiongguan War. Zheng Minglun, the general of the Infantry Division of the Guard's pro-army, was promoted to deputy general, commanded a battalion of 500 sharp soldiers, and replaced Su Jingzhan to guard the Changhua army.

And Su Jingzhan, the commander of the original naval army, was demoted to two levels and transferred to the newly established navy of the Dragon Bird Army to serve as the commander, which can be regarded as returning to his old profession and making the best use of his talents.

The former deputy commander Zhang Ba was demoted by two levels, and was transferred to the Dragon Bird Army as a commander to lead the sword and axe battalion.

These two generals are one of the few good generals in the dynasty, Zhang Ba has followed Zhang Shijie for more than ten years, born and died, experienced a hundred battles, known for his bravery, and is the number one fierce general under Zhang Shijie. Although Su Jingzhan is young and has not experienced many battle formations, it is not easy to rush out of the sea of blood such as the corpse mountain in the mountains, and his performance on the battlefield of the Jiyang Military City in the past is also remarkable. At a time when the family and country are in danger and the Jedi is surviving, such a good general should not be implicated by his boss or his father, so he will be buried.

Now Zhao Lie is already the prince, and he is in charge of the country, he represents the dynasty, whether it is Zhang Ba or Su Jingzhan, they must completely obey his orders, otherwise it will be a betrayal of the court. Not to mention the two of them, even Zhang Shijie and Su Liuyi, who stepped down because they stood on the wrong team, are still loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, but they have the king's order and will never dare to disobey them. And Zhao Lie is now half a foot on the throne, and his will is also equivalent to the king's order.

According to the implication of Zhang Ba and Su Jingzhan, especially Zhang Ba was also involved, intending to be unfavorable to Zhao Lie. Whoever comes to power will not show mercy to Zhang Ba and the like, and will be pushed to the end. It is light to degrade officials to the people, and even if they are imprisoned, it is not surprising that they are tortured to death. It's like Zhao Lie, regardless of his previous suspicions, he only demoted two levels, and let them lead a battalion with the title of commander and commander, and once again lead the army. Not to mention that the second general is grateful, even Zhang Shijie and Su Liuyi are relieved and secretly admired. For them, their political career is over, and they can only hope for their juniors. If Zhang Ba and Su Jingzhan are hated by Xinjun and come out forever, the two of them will be guilty and depressed, and they will inevitably have different aspirations.

Zhao Lieqi used two generals, not only two more brave generals to throw themselves into the torrent of resistance to the Yuan, but also the gratitude of the two Great Song generals. Why not?

……

At the end of April, after half a year, Zhao Lie returned to Wan'an Army and received an unprecedented warm welcome.

When he went, he was just a general of the dynasty, and when he returned, he was already the prince of the Great Song Dynasty. The skyrocketing status of Zhao Hunt naturally led to a significant increase in the loyalty and cohesion of his soldiers. Every soldier of the Dragon Bird Army who stayed in Wan'an, even if it was a subordinate of the original Ma Fuji Station, spontaneously gave birth to a sense of pride that "we once fought side by side with the official family and beat the Yuan Dog".

Which is the hottest unit right now? There is no doubt that it is a martial arts team! The whole team is an envoy, everyone is an officer, and all the strongest weapons are used in their hands, and more importantly, this army will be the Son of Heaven's army in the future! And most importantly, this unit has less than 40 people, and sooner or later it will be expanded. According to the pro-military standard of the prince, at least three hundred to five hundred. Once you join the team, it will be a leap of the dragon, the glory and wealth are in front of you, if you don't fight at this time, when will you stay? !

After the edict of Zhao Liren Chujun was transmitted to the Wan'an army, whether it was the Longque Army that stayed behind, or the surrendered troops of the newly annexed army of The Hague, they all trained as if they had been beaten with blood.

Because the Wan'an Army stayed behind and Commander Shi Yang said that if you want to join the martial arts team, there is no problem. Get your hands dirty! Show up loyalty! As long as you are loyal and brave, and you get enough merits, you can enter the martial arts team.

Who is Shi Yang? The prince's reckless friend once served as an instructor of the martial arts team for a short time, and his words were definitely what the prince meant.

Fight! Spell out a rich future!

The greatest convenience of the Wan'an Army is the endless production of muskets and ammunition. There are as many guns as there are soldiers, and there will never be a sense of powerlessness like Yacheng, where the whole army only has dozens of guns.

With the guarantee of weapons and ammunition, the Dragon Bird Army strengthened training and vigorously launched a large-scale competition.

Many outstanding soldiers with outstanding performance, after intensive training, passed the assessment, joined the sentry battalion - this sentry battalion, is the reserve of the martial arts team, only into the sentry battalion, actively fighting, military merits, promotion to envoys, and finally after a comprehensive assessment (loyalty, culture, ability), can be expected to be selected into the martial arts team.

The difficulty of joining the martial arts team can be seen. But because it is difficult, more people will strive for, work hard, and cherish it, and they will absorb the most elite fighters of this era.

The Son of Heaven is pro-army, and the force is strong, is it ordinary?

The veterans of the original sentry battalion have applied one after another, strongly asking to join the martial arts team.

The martial arts team has indeed come to expand.

Zhao Hunter is in Yacheng, but the dynamic information of the Wan'an Army is sent for half a month, and it is all under control. He was very satisfied with the atmosphere in the Wan'an barracks, and what a strong army wanted was this kind of hard work.

In early May, Zhao Lie, accompanied by Shi Yang, Zhao Ruohe, Ma Guangde, Guo Chenggui and other civil and military generals, inspected the Wan'an Army. After digesting Ali Hague's surrender, the Wan'an army gained a total of 3,000 soldiers and more than 1,000 conscripts. Among the 3,000 musketeers divided by Zhao Lie, the Wan'an army accounted for half, as many as 1,500.

In addition to the hard training of the sergeants, this is also due to the fact that this is the military industrial base of the Dragon Bird Army, which has no shortage of weapons and ammunition and is open to supply. Bullets were fed in, and the number of qualified musketeers increased. Unlike Yacheng, although more troops were surrendered and reorganized early, due to the open and secret battle between Zhao Lie and the Queen Mother's party, it was impossible to transport the guns at all. And there are not enough guns, and there is no way to train if you want to. When the overall situation is settled, and the time is also at the end of March, the capture of Qiongguan is imminent, and Zhao Lie naturally can't put a mature musketeer instead of training another batch of new soldiers.

Bang bang bang bang......

On the school field outside the city, the sound of gunfire shook the sky, and the smoke of gunpowder filled the air, occasionally mixed with the sound of shouting and killing. The wooden targets shattered and exploded one after another in the crackling sound, and it was terrifying to look at.

Thousands of troops lined up, thousands of guns fired at once, what a shock.

Zhang Ba, Su Jingzhan, Xu Dafu and others have never seen such a prestige, and they were shocked inexplicably, and they were all stunned. On the contrary, Zhao Ruohe, a civil official, was calm and showed a full sense of superiority in front of Zhang Ba and others.

Zhao Lie was very satisfied, this musket army was brought out for Shi Yang. With this 1,000-man musket army, it is not a problem to sweep through Qiongzhou.

After watching the performance, Zhao Lie held a loudspeaker and lectured the whole army. He didn't say anything about the great principle of loyalty and patriotism, but only said a simple paragraph: "As you think, the martial arts team is going to be expanded." If you want to be selected for the martial arts team, it is not enough to have training, strength, and loyalty, but also to have real combat exploits. What is a martial arts team? In the army, there are martial arts doctors and martial arts langs. If you don't achieve such feats, no matter how strong you are, you are not qualified. Where do the exploits come from? Only battles, excellent records. Now, you have a chance. That's it—"

Zhao Lie's long arm pointed to the north, and his voice was fierce: "Qiongzhou!" Joan Tube! There, there are the exploits you want! There is the riches you want! I, Zhao Mengbei, leave a sentence here - whether it is a veteran of the Dragon Bird Army, or a new army of the Wan'an Army, or a Yacheng Guiyi Army. As long as the combat merits are promoted to the thirty-fifth rank (martial arts lang), they can apply to join the martial arts team. My martial arts team, as long as this is the hero who resists the Yuan and kills the Tartars! One counts as one, do you dare to come?! ”

The thousand armies were silent, and after just a few breaths, they suddenly burst out with an earth-shattering roar: "Come!" Come! Come! ”
